Meatless Monday! Quick & Easy Noodles & Veggies

It has been two weeks since my last post.

That makes me so sad! But on the upside we are all moved into our new house and

now the fun can start again! I made this quick and easy noodle dish just for

you, and me for dinner, but this is more about you now isn't it? I made this

(as in, not as good in spaghetti). If I were making spaghetti and didn't want

to use actual noodles I would try spaghetti squash mixed with lots of veggies and

sauce. That's a completely different topic, but that's alright.

I three together this dish in all of 10

minutes, it's that quick. We actually served with with adorable miniature

vegetable spring rolls because isn't everything miniature adorable? Well, most

things, especially foods though. I personally am always thrilled to find

vegetable spring rolls, as in, without chicken or pork, because really people?

there are people who don't want chicken or pork. I will say that this dish may

be a bit high in sodium but that's attributed to the soy sauce and I sort of

cheated and used a can of stir-fry vegetables from the Asian section of the

grocery store. I'm sure if you were feeling it then you could get wild and add

in the carrots, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, red peppers, and

mini corn individually but those cans of the individual ingredients are HUGE!

You could also get away with rinsing the stir fry vegetables out of the can

because you're adding a sauce anyway. Wish I would have thought of that when I

made this...I loved it though.

I used a spicy soy sauce so I didn't add

any additional spice but feel free to toss in some crushed red pepper or

sriracha sauce if you would like to. Now, the tofu shirataki noodles...they can

be a little scary but in the right application they are awesome. I will warn

you, there is a smell when you open the package that on the package they call

the "authentic aroma", nice yes? So, it just smells fermented but if

you rinse the noodles under water then toss them in the microwave for 1 minute

I absolutely promise you won't have that smell or some crazy taste. It says to

microwave them on the package, please do it. You can also boil them but I'm

lazy so I microwave them. Don't bother drying them though after microwaving

because you're tossing them into a saucepan with sauce and veggies anyway, see?

no point. So, now that I've talked your ear off, let me know what you think

about the recipe or if you've had the noodles before and your feelings on those!
